Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound broccoli florets (from 1 1/2 pounds broccoli stalks), thinly sliced and then roughly chopped (see photos)
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds or slivered almonds
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese (optional)
1/3 cup dried cranberries or dried tart cherries, chopped
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 medium clove garlic, pressed or minced
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Toast the sunflower seeds: Pour the sunflower seeds into a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently (careful, they'll burn!), until the seeds are turning golden on the sides, about 5 minutes. Pour the toasted seeds into a large serving bowl.
  • Add the chopped broccoli, onion, cheese and cranberries to the serving bowl. Set aside.
  • In a 1-cup liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine all of the dressing ingredients (olive oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, garlic and salt). Whisk until the mixture is well blended.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and stir until all of the broccoli is lightly coated in dressing. I highly recommend letting the salad marinate for at least 20 minutes, or even overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Divide the salad into individual bowls and serve. Leftovers will keep well for 3 to 4 days in the fridge, covered.

KALE SALAD WITH PEANUT VINAIGRETTE

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 appetizers or 2 main courses

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup creamy natural peanut butter
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup canola oil
Kosher salt
One 15-ounce can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed under cold water
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1 cup shredded carrots
4 breakfast radishes, thinly sliced
1 bunch Tuscan kale, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 5 packed cups)
1 Persian cucumber, sliced into half-moons
1 red bell pepper, cut into bite-size pieces
1/4 cup lightly salted, dry-roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • For the peanut vinaigrette: Whisk together the peanut butter, vinegar, honey and sesame oil in a small bowl until smooth. Whisk in the canola oil and season with salt. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to serve.
  • For the kale salad: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
  • Spread the garbanzo beans on the prepared baking sheet, rolling them lightly over the paper towels to remove excess liquid. Remove the paper towels, add the olive oil, and toss the garbanzos to coat. Bake until the garbanzos are deep golden brown and crispy, 25 minutes. Season immediately with salt. Let cool completely.
  • Combine the carrots, radishes, kale, cucumbers and peppers in a large bowl; season with salt. Dress the salad with about a third of the dressing; since the kale is such a sturdy green, it can be dressed an hour or two ahead. (Refrigerate the remaining dressing to use on other salads or as a marinade.) Just before serving, toss with the crispy garbanzo beans and roasted peanuts.
